As far back as the 1970s, researchers published studies linking long-term use of talc-based powders to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. A team of British scientists discovered talc particles embedded in ovarian cancer tumors, setting in motion decades of research and troubling findings. It was eventually uncovered that talc powder can contain trace amounts of asbestos, a known human carcinogen.
